Haste makes waste - if you want quality content, let the dev and their team take the time they need.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.

I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen’t Google a lot of money.

Actually “rationalising the pipeline” would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money

We’re always told the people at the bottom rung of society, the people doing “entry level” jobs just need to work harder and harder to earn a proper living…

But how does that work really? Unlike a lot of high level jobs, none of these jobs just exist for the sake of existing, most of these “entry level” jobs are essential to society (we saw that much during the pandemic).

Somebody has to do them or society just doesn’t work, so don’t the people doing these literally essential jobs deserve to be paid a fair living wage? They’re working just as hard as the people above them, yet they’re paid peanuts in comparison

That’s the hill Pope Francis is willing to die on? - that Gender ideology is the ugliest danger today?
Not Russia’s endless onslaught against the Ukrainian people or Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people?
Pope Francis needs to get outside more often.

Dude - you’re either stupid enough to not realise the irony of what you’ve just said, or you’re trolling. For your sake, I kinda hope it’s the latter

Exactly, who do they think holds up all their gambles.
They keep the working class fighting each other, because if they ever stopped, this wouldn’t work anymore

As long as there us incentive to do so, malicious actors will exploit the source code whether it is open or closed…

Making something open source does make it easier for malicious actors, but it also allows honest actors to find and fix exploits before they can be used - something they won’t/can’t do for closed source, meaning you have to rely on in-house devs to review/find/fix everything.

No, my point is that they’re lost causes and they’re untrainable.

Ah… I still don’t get how that’s meant to refute the previous person’s point that elitism and the “git gud” attitude around Linux contributes to it’s inability to become mainstream.

If anything your reply only reinforces their point, because you seem to be suggesting we throw anybody who struggles to learn it to the curb.

Is your point meant to be that these people who already have trouble learning GUIs would somehow have an easier time intuiting command line?

If that’s correct, that’s an absolutely BS argument

Yeah, if VLC can’t do it, I’d bet my money nothing can

I’m not a Linux fan boy by any means, but you’ve at least got to give it a fair deal…

Saying Linux sucks because of Google’s Android is the equivalent of saying you hate all vegetables because Brussel Sprouts suck.

I think that’s a per installation thing, cause mine has always had issues with sleep mode - ironically no problem with hibernation though haha

Pointing out that you find it easy because you do it for a living isn’t a very good counter to their point - most people do other things besides Linux for a living

It’s worm morse code, “my parents aren’t home today”

The rest of the world got the right version of the man’s work

Which is (or at least should be) “Aluminium” because that’s the internationally agreed IUPAC spelling.

We gave up the cooler spelling of Sulfur to be consistent with IUPAC - if we can do that, then surely giving up on “-num” should be a cakewalk.

Except it’s not clickbait - I’ll cite Wikipedia so you can look yourself, but they’re not the same thing.

Rose Gold is a proper alloy of Gold, made with Copper.

Purple Gold is an “intermetalic” (which have a different molecular structure to normal alloys and thus are more brittle), and is made with Aluminium.

Due to it’s brittleness even amongst intermetalics, it is considered hard to work with, much more so than a proper alloy like Rose Gold. The only similarity they share is their colour ranges can overlap dependent on how they’re made.
